Th e isolated bacteria were classifi ed using automated methodologies. RESULTS: A total of 699 bacteria were isolated, with the largest growth percentage found in kitchens (36%).

In the survey, 93% of the caregivers reported washing their hands before handling food, and 23% said they used personal protection items when handling food.
